 “We are eating the wrong animals. We are growing the wrong crops. We’ve completely misunderstood the land.” – Bruce Pascoe

Australia is a beacon of unique biodiversity and rich natural resources, yet its land, water and wildlife are devastatingly mismanaged. Environmental experts and authors Richard Beasley (Dead in the Water), Bruce Pascoe (Loving Country), Victor Steffensen (Fire Country) and Rebecca Giggs (Fathoms), join ABC Radio’s Philip Clark to call for change. From uncovering political inaction to recovering Indigenous agricultural practices, this is a powerful conversation about when we stopped being the lucky country and if we can change.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
